Abstract
The author employs the decolonial perspectives to examine the politics and narratives surrounding the US Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act of 2009, also called the Kerry Lugar Berman (KLB) Act.1 The act authorised the payment of $1.5 billion per year in non-military assistance to the government of Pakistan for the next five years, from 2010 to 2014, with a provision to extend funding for an additional five years on meeting specific benchmarks. The act was severely criticised and generated a debate in Pakistan. One of the significant differences from past practices was the inclusion of conditions aimed at increasing the Pakistani military's accountability and limiting funding use.
期刊介绍：
Sodobna pedagogika pokriva področje pedagogike, vzgoje in izobraževanja ter z njimi povezana področja. Posebno pozornost namenja raziskavam in analizam aktualnih problemov vzgoje in izobraževanja, kjer spodbuja različne perspektive in akademsko-polemične pristope. Sodobna pedagogika svojega fokusa ne omejuje zgolj na določen segment znotraj vzgoje in izobraževanja. Prispevki, ki jih objavlja, se ukvarjajo z vprašanji in problemi šolskih sistemov, šolskih politik, šolske organizacije in vodenja, prav tako pa tudi z vzgojnimi in izobraževalnimi procesi ter statusom učiteljev, staršev in učencev ter odnosi med njimi. Revija je odprta tudi za posredovanje izkušenj pedagoških delavcev-praktikov najrazličnejših profilov: osnovnošolskih in srednješolskih učiteljev, ravnateljev, vzgojiteljev, pedagoških vodij, svetovalnih delavcev in drugih.
